The power of Celtic symbolism never wanes and still holds power just as it did back at the time of the Celts. These symbols have become part of the Irish identity and heritage and some have even become symbols of Ireland itself.

From Brigid’s Cross, to Celtic knot-work, Trinity knots, Ogham script, the torc, to Celtic crosses, there are many meanings behind the symbols.
